Virat Kohli‘s commitment to health and fitness extends beyond his personal regimen; it encompasses his family as well. During Anushka Sharma‘s
pregnancy
with their daughter, Vamika, the doting hubby took proactive steps to ensure that his wife received optimal nutrition tailored to her needs. This was done with the help of
Ryan Fernando
, Kohli’s
nutritionist
, who recently shared insights into this thoughtful endeavor.
In a recent conversation with fitness trainer Yasmin Karachiwala, Ryan revealed that Virat reached out to him for assistance in developing a specialized nutrition plan for Anushka during her first pregnancy. He was reportedly keen on ensuring that the actress’ dietary needs were met throughout the different trimesters of her pregnancy. Fernando explained, “During this journey, Virat learned that I have a team of medical dietitians, and since they were expecting their first child, he asked if we could develop a nutrition plan for Anushka. He wanted me to handle her trimester nutrition plans, which we did very successfully”
As both he and Anushka follow a
vegetarian diet
, the nutritionist and his team reportedly crafted specific plans for each trimester, based on the changing nutritional requirements.
Ryan noted that Kohli has always been diligent about research and education regarding nutrition. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he dedicated time to learning more about dietary needs and how they could be optimized for performance and health.
For several months, Virat and Anushka kept their pregnancy news private. They eventually announced it on Instagram in August 2020, delighting fans with the news of their impending parenthood. The couple welcomed their daughter Vamika on January 11, 2021. Following this joyful event, they expanded their family further with the birth of their son,
Akaay
, on February 15, 2024.
